<![CDATA[Foundation]]> I signed up for an Apple TV+ subscription last year to watch a baseball game and never cancelled. That’s how they get ya. They got me. 

I started digging in to their other programming and Foundation is a series with 2 seasons out there for your viewing pleasure. It’s actually really good. If you’re a fan of sci-fi stuff l’m pretty sure you’ll dig it. 

It’s not exactly an attention getter through the first few episodes. I had to stick with it through the first few before it started getting good, or to even figure out who the main characters were. 

Once you get past that though, it gets really good. It’s kind of Star Wars-esque in that there is an “empire” that runs the universe, but their reign is faltering. It’s also Dune-like in that the Empire are the only ones with the technology to fold space and they have electronic body shields they call “auras”, plus all the top notch gadgetry that the rest of the universe doesn’t have.

Once you get about half way through the first season, you’re in the thick of it. At times the plot gets riveting where you’re tempted to fast forward ahead to see what happens. After watching both seasons l get the impression the series has serious legs and could conceivably go for several more seasons. I’m excited for the next series.

It’s essentially a cosmic political story about the process of an empire rising and falling, and the successive aftermath and process of rebirth. It’s very well done and complex enough to keep the nerds engaged, but also action packed enough to intrigue everyone else.

I give it a solid A.

Yeah l’m in to it. Even with watching the last 3 episodes of season 2 you’re be wondering what’s going on for the first several minutes of season 3.

Me too, l’m guessing it will be next year before the next season comes out. 

Did you also watch Silo on Apple+? It’s more of a dystopian futuristic sci-fi show with only 1 season right now. Similar to Foundation l had to hang in there for the first few episodes to get a feel for the plot and figure out who the main characters were. It’s not as good as Foundation but l did enjoy it.

So far so good..It feels a lot like a John Steinbeck novel where character development takes center stage and I don't mind that.. moving into episode 4..

It is a slow starting series but should be getting real good soon.

that is because Foundation is where the star wars idea came from same with hitch hikers guide to the galaxy, if you have the time try  to read the book's. But that being said,They have done a great job of putting it together
